4 SERIOUS TALE.

These were all the persons present,
and with them General Lee conversed
on the serious condition affairs had as
sumcd, the Fedcrals having succeeded
in throwing large bodies of troops in
front of the rctroatiDg Confederates. At
that council it was decided that Gordon
and Lee should advance at light III the
morning and attempt to open the way
for the further retreat Of the army. Ii
was supposed this could easily be done
il nothing but General Sheridan's cayal-
~ was encountered, but if said cavalry
was supported by masses of infantry
General Lee should he so informed, in
order that he might prevent a further
flow Of blood 10y the surrender of his

4 NIGHT or GLOON.

General Lee stood erect near one end
OF the fire, while General Longstreot sat
on log towards the other end. The
army commanders blankets had been
spread out opposite to the centre of the
fire and upon them Generals Gordon
and Fitzhugh Lee sat or half rcclned.
4 little in the background was the Gene
rails hcadquarter wagons and ambu-
lance. Such WAS the picture of the last
council Of war of the Army of Northern
Virginia, the officers present being Gen
erals Robert f. Lee, James LODgStrect,
John =. Gordon, and Fitzhugh Lee.
And these being the indubitable histori-
,al facts, they dispose Of the recently set
Ip claim that Malone was with Lee in
hat consultation.

1t will he remembered that when this
council was held a correspondence had
already taken place between Generals
Lee and Grant General Lees head
quarters were then little field close 10y
the edge of a piece Of woods no house

Commissioners Bragg In relation
to this case as saying to q news
paper reporter: 81 know Council
we'll. He is one of the brightest
and best of our colored citizens.
He is staunch Democrat, and
canyasses the State at every elec-
ton for the Democratic ticket.
He is not man who desires to
push himself forward because of
any ambition to obtain social
equality. He is modest and
unassuming. He is gentleman.
When I was president of the AL
ALBANIA Board of Railroad Com
missioners, [ required railroads
to furnish frst-class aceommoda-
tons for all passengers who paid
first class fares. There Was a fear
full kick against it, but I stuck
to it and enforced the order. They
have no right to exact first class
fare from a colored man and
then give him fourth-class ac-
commodatlons.
The result of my order was
that the railroads had to furnish
seperate first class cars for first
class colored passengers. Why,
representatives of this very rail-
road company came up here and
endeavored to persuade the Pres
ident not to appoint me upon this
Commission because I had taken
a stand in favor of what I re-
gard as justice to colored people.
That was the only point they
made against me, but the Presi-
dent did not Seem to sympathize
with them in their opposition
to me, This complaint is not
against any Alabama railroad;
it is made against the Georgia
Central"
Struggle as you may this is
live issue and it will not down,
The unjust discrimination practic-
ed by Southern railroads against
the colored portion of the travel
ing public is an outrage and
should be resented by every
means in their power.
